Tower of Power – December 2014 Update

PowerShell Team

You may remember Jeffrey posting about the "Tower of Power" in 2008: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powershell/archive/2008/03/27/tower-of-power-part-2.aspx.

For curiosity, I was just doing a little investigation on the number of PowerShell books available, and the number has grown somewhat. I did some web scraping of Amazon for anything with ‘PowerShell’ in the title, and manually attempted to remove duplicates (although kept multiple editions as their own entry).
